To remove mold from a nylon shower curtain, first detach it from the rod and check the care label for washing instructions. You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with warm water, adding a cup of white vinegar or baking soda to help eliminate mold. For tough stains, scrub the affected areas with a mixture of water and mild detergent using a soft brush. After washing, hang it to dry completely to prevent mold from returning.

Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?

When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.

How to Prevent Shower Curtain Mildew?

Any shower curtain is prone to occasional mildew, due to the fact that they hang in the most moisture filled room in anyone’s home. While you’ve got your steamy shower to blame for the unpleasant appearance of mildew on your shower curtain and your occasional hot water running from the sink in your lavatory, most people don’t realize that even flushing your toilet releases a mist of moisture in the air which can also contribute to the damp conditions that cause mildew to grow on shower curtains. The best way to prevent mildew on your shower curtain, of course, is to dry the curtain after a shower, however, this method just isn’t at all that practical and can be very tedious and time consuming. Seriously…who does that? A method that works extremely well and only takes a few seconds of your time is to use a solution made of bleach and water on your shower curtain after each shower. You can use any old spray bottle. Fill it two-thirds of the way with water and one-third with bleach. Once you are out of the shower, pull your shower curtain away from any surface it may rest against and lightly spray it with the solution, especially in any area where the shower curtain may rest against another surface such as the tub or shower walls. This will keep your shower curtain free of most of the bacteria that cause mildew to grow and keep it looking almost like new without putting enough bleach on it to deteriorate the fabric. If your shower curtain is made of a fabric that can not handle bleach or would be discolored by bleach there are color safe bleaches which will not discolor your shower curtain when you use them. If you are sensitive to bleach yourself or have an allergic reaction to bleach, you can also find bleach alternatives, which are far easier on those who cannot necessarily deal with the straight bleach solution to keep the mildew off of their shower curtain. You will want to dilute these with water as well and use them in the same fashion to prevent mildew on your shower curtain.
